“Searching for answers—has anyone had this experience before diagnosis?”

Hi everyone, I’m currently in the diagnostic process, and I’m hoping to connect with others who might relate. I’ve had a long list of symptoms over the years that don’t seem to fit neatly under one umbrella, but MS has come up more than once. Some of my symptoms include: • A spinning, buzzing, or ...

Occipital Neuralgia

Hello everyone! I was curious if anyone experienced occipital neuralgia due to MS. I recently had pain in my neck when I was turning my head and I thought it’s nothing big maybe some injury from working out. But then after like 2 days I started having this horrible headache. I went to the urgent car...

Why I’m Coming Off Ocrevus: My MS Stor

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) means constantly adapting — to symptoms, to uncertainty, and to treatments that don’t always work the way you hope they will. After starting Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) in June 2024, I’ve now decided to stop — just over a year later. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it fee...

Not everything is MS?

I had a pounding headache for days, it got worse every day. At first I was afraid, I was petrified thinking it was my blood pressure but I checked it several times a day and it was fine. Headache got worse. Then I just said to myself, this is just another MS headache and it too shall pass… but it ...

What do you do to help beat the heat? My symptoms go crazy in the heat. I keep cold packs in the cars that I can use as needed.

Dancing with My Shadow



Multiple sclerosis is...
waking up one day walking with ease,
and the next, your legs refuse to follow.
It’s going to bed in pain
after waking with hope.
It’s living in a body
that no longer always listens
and learning to love it anyway.

but your body feels i...

Did you always suspect something was off with yourself

I remember in middle school talking with my school counselor and being adamant the there was something physically wrong with my brain and not just a chemical imbalance and that I needed a cat scan or MRI.
